Professor, Doctor, University of Kastomonu, Turkey, Kastomonu, e-mail: [email protected] THE STRUGGLE OF THE SIBERIAN KYRGYZS AGAINST THE RUSSIANS AND MONGOLS IN XVIII CENTURY This study deals with the life and legacy of Erenak bek, who was a prominent Kyrgyz personality lead of a Siberian Kyrgyz circa the 17th century. Erenak bek is the third son of eminent Kyrgyz ruler İshşey Mergen, grandson of Nomchu bek who ruled the Altısar tribe which was a part of Kyrgyz state along the Yenisey River. According to the old written records, he descended from noble Kyrgyz lineage. Obviously, Erenak bek is united the Siberian Kyrgyz in the second period of the 17th century. Therefore, it could be said that Erenak bek, gathered together the Kyrgyz and their Kyshtyms (depended tribes) under one authority with the political support of Dzungar Khan Senge-Taysha and his successor Galdan Boşoktu Khan. Together, they conducted some effective operations against Russians envasion into Siberia and took some advantages from them. Key words: Kyrgyz, Siberia region, Yenisey Kyrgyzes, Kyzyl Zhar, Altan Khans, Dzungar. Қаратаев О.

Эренак Бек қырғыздардың билеушісі Ишшэй Мергеннің үшінші ұлы, Енисей өзенінің бойындағы қырғыз мемлекетінің құрамына кіретін Алтысар тайпасының билеушісі - Номчу Бектің немересі. Ежелгі жазбаларға сүйенсек, ол текті қырғыз руынан шыққан. Әлбетте, бұл Эренак Бек 17 ғасырдың екінші кезеңінде сібір қырғыздарын біріктірді. Жоңғар ханы Сенге-Тайшаның және оның мұрагері Галдан Бошокту ханның саяси қолдауымен Эренак Бек қырғыздарды және олардың қыштымдарын (тәуелді тайпалар) бір билік астына жинады. Олар Сібірдегі орыстардың басқыншылығына қарсы бірнеше тиімді операцияларды бірге өткізді. Түйін сөздер: қырғыздар, Сібір аймағы, Енисей қырғыздары, Қызылжар, Алтан-хан, жоңғарлар. Каратаев О.

Эренак-Бек-третий сын выдающегося кыргызского правителя Ишшея Мергена, внук Номчу Бека, правившего племенем Алтысар, входившим в состав кыргызского государства вдоль реки Енисей. Согласно древним письменным записям, он был выходцем из знатного кыргызского происхождения (рода). Очевидно, что Эренак Бек объединил сибирских киргизов во второй половине XVII века. Таким © 2018 Al-Farabi Kazakh National University Karatayev O. образом, можно сказать, что Эренак Бек собрал под одной властью киргизов и их кыштымов (зависимых племен) при политической поддержке Джунгарского хана Сенге-Тайша и его преемника Галдан Бошокту хана. Вместе они провели несколько эффективных операций против вторжения русских в Сибирь. Ключевые слова: киргизы, Сибирский регион, Енисейские киргизы, Кызыл-жар, Алтан-ханы, Джунгары. «Erenak a wonderful person, bek has been educated within the Dzungarian Khan a man of outstanding energy and a broad household since the Kyrgyz princes had matrimonial initiative.» and kindred relationships with the founders of the Prof. N.

One of Erenak’s main goals was to prevent Russian colonization in Southern Siberia. He achieved this goal, with a martial hand. Erenak bek joined the divided Kyrgyz uluses and Kishtym tracts around the political center «Kyrgyz land» or «Kyrgyz state». At that time, it was difficult to differentiate real border between the Kyrgyz ulus «state Kyrgyz» and the new northern neighbor the Moscow state. Erenak bek zealously defended the boundaries of his Kishtym tracts, which were the source of the economic power of the Kyrgyz kings (beks). He tried to gather all the Kyrgyz race into a single khanate, he was fighting to save his own power and for the independence of Kyrgyz princes from the Russian state, while gravitating toward an alliance with the Dzungar Khanate (Butanaev, Butanaeva 2003:165). Prince Erenak bek was a cruel and treacherous ruler. He did not spare the traitors and tortured them without remorse: crucified in the Erenak bek. XVII century.

Keywords Siberia; Buryats; Mongols Siberia’s vast realms have often fallen outside the view of Asian Studies specialists, due perhaps to their centuries-long domination by Russia – a European power – and their lack of elaborately settled civilizations like those elsewhere in the Asian landmass. Yet Siberia has played a crucial role in Asian history. For instance, the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Mongol tribes who frequently warred with China held extensive Southern Siberian territories, and Japanese interventionists targeted Eastern Siberia during the Russian Civil War (1918- 1921). Moreover, far from being a purely ethnic-Russian realm, Siberia possesses dozens of indigenous Asian peoples, some of whom are clearly linked to other, more familiar Asian nations: for instance, the Buryats of Southeastern Siberia’s Lake Baikal region share par- ticularly close historic, ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural ties with the Mongols. The Buryats, who fell under Russian rule over the seventeenth century, number over 400,000 and are the largest native Siberian group. Most dwell in the Buryat Republic, or Buryatia, which borders Mongolia to the south and whose capital is Ulan-Ude (called “Verkheneu- dinsk” during the Tsarist period); others inhabit Siberia’s neighboring Irkutsk Oblast and Zabaikal’skii Krai (formerly Chita Oblast), and tens of thousands more live in Mongolia and China.

Unfortunately, the material records of history of this region are not dense enough to reconstruct details of population history. These considerations stimulate growing interest to obtain a genetic picture of the demographic history of migrations and admixture in Northern Eurasia. Results: We genotyped and analyzed 1076 individuals from 30 populations with geographical coverage spanning from Baltic Sea to Baikal Lake. Our dense sampling allowed us to describe in detail the population structure, provide insight into genomic history of numerous European and Asian populations, and significantly increase quantity of genetic data available for modern populations in region of North Eurasia.

I explore how a deeply-held and territorially-oriented sense of collective belonging among the Kyrgyz developed within the Russian imperial context through the efforts of the Kyrgyz poets and intellectuals during the late tsarist period. I search for this sense of collective belonging in the literary culture of the northern Kyrgyz. In the absence of written culture, oral tradition served as the primary depository of the northern Kyrgyz collective memory. Oral poets were the ones who shaped group identities and created various versions of Kyrgyzness based on culture, lifestyle, religious belief, social practices, and moral values. By the late imperial period, these existing conceptions of Kyrgyzness served as a fertile ground for the first generation of Kyrgyz intellectuals to develop their own visions of Kyrgyz community. They started collecting and writing what they believed to be the history of their people, thus contributing to the creation of the nationalistic narrative and participating in a broader discourse on the nation in the intellectual circles of the Central Asian elites.

  • On the Origin of the Naiman
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 9 (2016 9) 2071-2081 ~ ~ ~ УДК 930.85 (575.2) (04) On the origin of the Naiman Tabyldy A. Akerov* International University of Kyrgyzstan 255 Chui, Bishkek, 720001, Kyrgyzstan Received 13.03.2016, received in revised form 20.06.2016, accepted 15.08.2016 The work is dedicated to the problem of the origin of the medieval Altai ethnos of Naimans, who were able to form an early feudal state in Altai in the 12th century. The scientific literature ascribed them the Turkic, Mongol or Turko-Mongol origin. The work studies the issue of the origin of the Naiman in the context of studying the etymology of the ethnonym Naiman. It offers a new hypothesis of the emergence of the ethnonym Naiman among historical terms, which could have been inherited or borrowed from the eight constituent alliance of Kangar-Pecheneg tribes. The paper examines possible ethnopolitical and ethnogenetic, as well as ethnocultural ties of the Naiman with the Az, the Kangar-Pecheneg, the Kuchuk, the Tumat, the Oguz, the Khitan and other Altaic tribes. Based on the study, analysis and comparison of the version of the epic Manas described in the book Madzhumu at-Tavarikh by S. Akhsikendi with later versions of the great legend, the author makes an attempt to define the role and place of Naimans in the history of the Kyrgyz people and epic at the Altai stage of their development. Keywords: Manas, the Naiman, the Kangar-Pecheneg, the Tumat, the Oguz, the Khitan, the Az, the Yenisei Kyrgyz, early feudal state, Buyruk Khan, Mogolistan, Altai, the Tien-Shan.

The article analyses the causes of appearance of mythologized histories in the two republics of Central Asia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The article evaluates the function and instrumental character of this phenomenon. Authors have demonstrated in a lot of examples that mythologized history is one of the tools by which an attempt is made to control the political process. Mythologized history plays an important role in both countries. It cannot be argued that this phenomenon is understood and interpreted in full. In any case, this phenomenon requires further study.

    a background of the armenians and mongols 31 CHAPTER ONE A BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE ARMENIANS AND MONGOLS Before moving on to the relationship set up between the Mongols and the Armenians , it is necessary to give a short historical back- ground about the origin, location and history of them. It is especially important to mention the historical conditions of the Armenians on the eve of the Mongol conquest , when Greater Armenia and Cilician Armenia existed separately from each other with no major political contacts, although with constant cultural, religious and trading links. The Mongols were dealing with two different vassal states, of which the Greater Armenians were their subjects, while the Cilician Armenians were their allies. The Armenians in Greater Armenia The history of the Armenian people goes back to Hittite and Assyrian times and it has formed a part of the history of the north-eastern region of the Mediterranean world, existing and being influenced by Aegean-Anatolian, Mesopotamian, Iranian, Hellenistic and Romano- Byzantine civilisations.1 A description of earlier Armenian geogra- phy is given by Strabo (63/64 BC–24 AD), the Greek geographer and historian.2 The historical Armenian plateau is the highest among the three land-locked plateaus that form the northern part of the Middle East .
